shall we dine al fresco tonight?

Which chair would you like?

It being Friday and all, it felt like the right time to resurrect the Friday Random Playlist. This poor neglected playlist game ends up on life support so often that we can't afford the electricity bills any longer.

Since this playlist was lifted from a Facebook shuffle meme that I was finally shamed into playing today, it features fifteen fabulous tracks rather than the standard ten. Living on the edge, I know.

For the record, I have no idea how my shuffle managed to play three consecutive Weakerthans songs. But to my itunes shuffle, I say kudos, you have impeccable taste.

1.Comment (if all men are truly brothers) - Wilco

2.Under my thumb - the Rolling Stones

3.Lettuce and vodka - X

4.That's not my name - the Ting Tings

5.Summerrain - Dubblestandart

6.We're a happy family - the Ramones

7.I don't love anyone - Belle and Sebastian

8.Laydown - Chikita Violenta

9.Drunk on aluminum - Wintersleep

10.Chinball wizard - the Wet Secrets

11.You cheat yourself of everything that moves - the Verlaines

12.Anchorless - the Weakerthans

13.Without mythologies - the Weakerthans

14.Fallow - the Weakerthans

15.Broken broken broken heart - Jeffrey Lewis & the Junkyard

*-*

There are two songs on this playlist which I have not only never heard before, but I have never even heard of the artist. How they ended up on my itunes is beyond me. Apple elves?

I want a recount. Darn, I thought about 15 only because it sounded country and I couldn't imagine you buying anything country. I should have known a song with the title Lettuce and Vodka would have been too good for you to pass up.
